cdorobantu Posted February 21, 2007 Share Posted February 21, 2007 Hi,I like to set my view in Windows Explorer by details (ie. from the VIEW menu option -> DETAILS). Now, everytime I close Windows Explorer and re-open the application, the view resets itself to something else. How can I make Vista remember by set view? I do have set the option to "Remember each folder's view settings" from Tools -> Folder Options -> View.Does this happen to anyone else? How can I fix it? I know in XP that a registry setting had to be changed to tell Windows how many folder views to remember (default 400). That number in Vista is already set to 5000 views.Thanks.

DigeratiPrime Posted February 26, 2007 Share Posted February 26, 2007 your post makes sense, sounds like you know what you're doing, sounds like a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For MP3 it changes, for Avi it changes, It drives me crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoardBabe Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 Happens at my computer also, folder views tend to reset/change all the time, depending on content/folder levels etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamslammer Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I'm having the same problem as well. I have looked for an answer myself, but have found nothing so far. I agree, it is a pain to constantly have to reset my folder view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wfunction Posted March 9, 2007 Share Posted March 9, 2007 I have seen this problem in my Vista RC2 before - but after I reinstalled it, it was gone.I think you have to go to the folder properties, customize, and then select the content to be All Items. Does it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aypeus Posted March 10, 2007 Share Posted March 10, 2007 Close everything you can, go to control panel > apparent something > folder options > reset folders > log off.Log back in, brows your way to your e.g. C:\ in the explorer, chose the view option you want, then go to control panel > apparent something > folder options > check remember each folders view setting > apply > ok > restart.I had this issue as well, but after doing this and I guess with some random "luck" it was sorted, GL.
